Today’s Scripture: Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Luke 2:25 NIV
I awoke this morning intrigued how a single vessel can hold or distribute opposite content. Whether it is a cup, a mouth, a heart, a container of some type it is amazing that both good and evil, clean or filth, physical or spiritual may be held and dispensed from there.
Most translations of Luke 2:25 come across to me as: Oh, by the way, the Holy Spirit was upon Simeon too.
Check this quote out I read this morning from Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible at Biblos.com. “The Holy Ghost was upon him – He was a man divinely inspired, overshadowed, and protected by the power and influence of the Most High.
Can’t you feel the power and influence of the Most High? This same Holy Ghost inspires you and me and gives us the desire and power to DO what is right.
Do you sense the Holy Spirit’s inspiration?
Today’s Prayer: Almighty Father, I praise Your name. Your power, influence and design are beyond comprehension. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit and for sharing Him with us. I confess my failures and my sins of trying to do things on my own strength. I am inspired and renewed to be reminded of Your power and Your Will that will be provided to me if I open my heart and soul to contain only You. Fill me LORD with Your Spirit and continue to inspire and protect your servants. Amen
